I have the extra large one & I boil it in my canner. Perfect size. I just let it on the stove. I was told by the company to bring it to a boil then keep it at 160 temp for 10-15 minutes before applying. Also told whenever I'm done using it & ready to pack it away for awhile to put it in a plastic bag & freeze it, never let it dry out. This works miracles for my Fybromyalgia, bursitis in hip & lower back pain. It's the same thing I use in PT.

you heat in boiling water. wrap product in towel and apply and cover with a blanket to keep warmth in. You might need more than 1 towel if they are thin. Product give improves circulation I was told by my physical therapist. So you should do on a regular basis.

Hello Same A., hmmm this is pretty large to be trying to "wrap" around a knee..it is so substantially made, and thus a bit stiff to consider a "wrap"...I drop it into a big soup pot full of boiling water for a few minutes until all the husks absorb the hot water and fill out the channels in the pad, hold it over the sink to drain off the most water, then encase it in a big towel. The heat keeps releasing and releasing for a long time. Its awesome. I've used it in massage therapy for clients for many years...very effective for prolonged moist heat. good luck.

The Purpose is to ease pain in hands or for moisture. Either works the same. It takes about 3 to 4 hrs. To fully melt at highest heat setting. Then cool it back to you max comfort level. Try 3 clicks from left. It should feel hot, but never burn you. Wash your hands, then put on a really good hand cream. Dip each hand in and out 4 times to build up a layer. Quickly put plastic gloves or bags on, then into mitts. Helps if you have someone do this covering for you. Sit, relax enjoy. I reuse my wax over and over even though technically not recommended. Reheat wax to melt back in.

Are you asking ingredients to add to this product to make a body wrap? or The actual process of applying the body wrap?

Good Moring:I bought this product for my husbands bad elbows and I love it. Here is how I use it:I place a handful of the product on one hand. I put warm water on his elbow. Then I scrub the product gently on the elbow. After scrubing for a couple of minutes I rinse the elbow with warm water. Folllow it up with moisterizer. I hope this helps.

well it certainly gets hot. I don't see why you couldn't put it on your knees. Just put something a little heavy; like a pillow to press the heat on knees. This pad is so much bigger tha sunbeams.

I think that is what I measured as well Dorene... I went with the medium with this. You want it to be tight not overly so though. It's supposed to sort of keep the knee in the proper position and that it does. The only way to completely do that would be a neoprene sleeve but I have not worn that for quite sometime. Only right after miniscus surgery and I wanted to play tennis 6 weeks after surgery. Then I needed the sleeve. But after about 2 months of wearing the sleeve I went to this and it keeps the knee very steady and I have had no more issues with my knee. Hope that this helps. I think that you can always send this item back if it does not work for you but i did go with the medium not the large. I think that is what I measured as well Dorene...

I do it in an old cup in the microwave and keep a supply of wooden spatulas to apply it - one minute to start with on High and then perhaps another 30 seconds if it is not quite ready to apply - and take care, because it is quite hot so do a test on your hand. Don't heat too much at one time - a tablespoon of beads goes a long way. A proper wax melting pot is best if you can run to that but I find it convenient to do it this way.

It is an ointment which is kind of greasy like Vaseline type product. I did not bandage and not sure you are supposed to. Actually I did not find it to be helpful at all but perhaps that was just me.

Spray it on pressure and the amount of catalyst will effect the texture.But to get the effect you want spray one to get the rough texture, then roll on the final layer. Comes out withe fairly high peaks and valleys, but is still snoot to the touch. I did my boat that way so it doesn't tear up my feet and knees! But you still get traction.Glbn

Yes. You can freeze it or heat it in the microwave, depending on your need. I had a total knee replacement, and this is the best cold pack I've found. I actually bought 2 so that I could freeze one while using the other. You can also move around while using this, though you'll probably have to readjust it once you plant yourself again!

The knee wrap has 5 compartments and each compartment contains an ice pak. Each compartment has a Velcro closure so ice paks can easily be removed so the wrap itself can be washed or if so desired one can remove the ice paks for freezing. Personally I would leave the ice paks in the wrap and freeze the whole thing - since I had space to do so. I do not know if one can purchase more ice paks. The provided ice paks freeze more quickly than others and in my case the frozen wrap would go on my knee for the required amount of time then right back in the freezer. By the time I needed it again it would be frozen. Spouse works in health care. This is one of the best wraps we've found. The knee wrap has 5 compartments and each compartment contains an ice pak.

I just wet my skin and apply the heated pad. It seems to be the right amount of moisture and doesn't ruin the thermalon pad. I love it!

I bought the 9x30 wrap after knee replacement surgery. It works really well and is easy to take care of, follow the instructions, and keep in freezer. It wrapped around my knee area with ease, and preformed perfectly.

I wouldn't use a wrap for arthritic knees, I would opt for getting a neoprene type knee sleeve. It will be more comfortable and stay put when you have it on, these aren't for wearing for long periods of time, they are to be worn very tight and only looped around your knees for weightlifting support.
